After several months of working hard, my mom was able to send me to Pelsy Peach High School when I completed primary school. It was the closest, and best school in the city we lived in. I was so thrilled to hear that I was going to the best high school in the city school.
Out of cheerfulness I hugged my mum and thanked her for what she has done
On my first day of school, I was introduced to the class and was asked by the teacher to sit next to Ronald on the fifth row. After the teacher left the class, Ernest and Annie who sit in front of me and Ronald turned their seat to face me. They asked my name and I said in a bold voice "My name is Theresa". Ernest smiled and said we'll call you "Thesa".
I seemed to like the nickname so I smiled at the corner of my cheeks.
"What's your favorite sports and your hobbies," asked Annie.
I replied
"My favorite sport game is basketball and I enjoy swimming a lot. They looked pleased to hear I loved basketball
"We all play basketball in the school's team".
said Ronald
"What about you joining the school's basketball team".
Suggested Annie
It looked like a great opportunity for me to polish my skills.
So, I said
"I'll love to join"
During dinner, I said to my grandma and mom,
"I'll be joining the school basketball team tomorrow".
"Wooww", said my mom
"That's a very great opportunity for you"
"Yeah, it was suggested by one of my new friends at school"
Standing in front of the coach's door, I prayed he'll accept me into the school's team
I entered into the office and greeted; I then began by telling the coach I will like to join the basketball team.
The coach asked,
"Do you know something about basketball".
"Yes, my grandmother said I used to play basketball with my neighbor's children when I was young".
Listening to me he knew I will be able to do well in the team
So, he picked a pen from his table and asked me my name
With smiles on my face, I said
"My name is Theresa"
He wrote my name on the basketball teams players list and told me there will be training after school. I thanked him and walked out of the office.
Annie was desperately waiting for me to come out the office. When I was out and she hurried toward me and asked
"What was his answer"
I said,
"He added my name to school team's players list and also said there will be training after school". Soon class for the day was over. I, Annie and the rest of the girls changed and joined the boys at the basketball field. I really had a lot of fun playing the game with the school team. Training was over when we headed to an ice cream shop to buy ice-cream, we talked about how interesting the game was whiles we licked our melting ice cream that was dripping in our hands.
Soon I was home,
I sat on my bed and thought about all the fun I had with them and during the training and fell asleep.
Seeing the sunrise through my window, as I opened my brown eyes, I stretched my arms and got out of bed feeling very happy and strong. I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and took a cool shower and dressed up for school standing in front of the mirror, I adjusted my school uniform and brushed my long black hair.
